Blessed to be a Blessing: The Gifts Reveal

Hello, dear readers! Thank you so much for dropping by and taking time to read my posts. As I have said in my previous post, In celebration of my birthday I would like to share some gifts to you; my own way of thanking you for joining me here in my blog journey. I am sorry if it took quite sometime before I reveal the gifts. A lot of pondering moments happened as I looked for meaningful gifts I would like to give you. These are just simple ones but as I have mentioned, they are meaningful, at least for me. :) So here they are.

One blessed reader will receive a Hand Treats from Marks & Spencer. I love Marks & Spencer products! Every time I enter the store, I feel like I want to get everything since they have all that I want and need; from lingerie and underwear, fashionable clothes for men and women to colognes, perfumes, lotions, soaps and talcum powder. My daughter loves the biscuits and cookies because they  are dairy-free (some of them) and therefore good for her.

These hand treats are perfect for any woman's tired hands. Whoever gets this, I hope you enjoy it. :)

Another reader will receive a simple yet elegant notepad from PostScript Design. This is perfect for a mom or a woman who loves to write thank-you notes to friends and loved ones.

The third and last chosen reader will have a chance to attend The Learning Basket's upcoming seminar/workshop Planning Your Literature-Based Preschool Homeschool on July 12th for free. This will be very helpful for mom/dad who wishes to homeschool their young children.

There you have it, my simple thank-you gifts. This blog give away is open for all readers who reside in the Philippines. It started on June 5th and will end on July 5th. If you would like to join, please go here. Winners will be announced here and on my Instagram account on July 6th.

Again, thank you so much for visiting and joining my very first blog give away. Hope you are blessed. I would love to hear from you.

Note: This is not a sponsored post. All the prizes are paid by yours truly and my sister. ;)

Blessed to be a Blessing

June is my birthday month. As a child, I didn't like my birthday. It was either raining or some unfortunate event would happen on the day itself. I had always thought that it's not a "lucky" day and I was not a "lucky" person. My siblings would always have a more-than-simple-although-not-too grand celebrations because their birthdates fall on or a day before payday. Such fortunate ones, haha!

Well, that was before. Things have changed as I realize what really matters most. Of course, I would love to have balloons (at my age, haha!), cake, ice cream and gifts on my special day. However, deep inside me, I really know what I want. There's a gnawing desire in my heart to make a difference in other people's lives; to be a blessing, if you will. I know I am blessed and have always been blessed by the Lord. I no longer look at myself as some "poor, unfortunate soul", but rather a "beloved and blessed" by Him. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a millionaire, I'm not even rich. I simply want to be a blessing. I believe that blessings come in different packages; some are big, others are small, nevertheless they are all blessings. 

So, in celebration of my birthday, I would like to be a blessing to you, my dear readers. I am giving away three special gifts to three blessed readers of my blog. It's my simple way to thank you for being with me in this blog journey. As for those who will not be chosen, please don't lose heart, you will be receiving a special note from me. :) I have just one simple wish though, that is for you to write your comment/s below. You also have to let me know three things:

1. How did you "find" me?
2. What is that topic that touched/blessed you in one way or another?
3. What topics would you like me to include in my blog in the not-so-distant future?

Pretty simple, isn't it? I would really love to hear from you. Please stay tuned for my next post for the gifts reveal. :)
